The 44-year-old, who was in Phuket to study kickboxing, added: "From that moment I was treated as someone less than human. I was handcuffed to a Thai and sent to court. As I was being led into the court I was beaten by an official with a leather strap. Then they sent me to jail because I did not have £2,000 for bail."

That's a scary story. It's that kind of thing that makes me want to stay here at home. The last thing I want is to end up in some third world prison with murderers and rapists because of a paperwork mix up.
